My New Show Shoes

Did I tell you that I signed up for a 4-week photography class? Every Sunday afternoon, at CommUniversity -- at St. Ambrose University in Davenport. The teacher explained how to avoid that pesky "automatic" setting on my little "point & shoot" camera. For the "portrait section" of class I made the manual adjustments he talked about...hummm...


Easily bored. I decided to take this picture of my new shoes (using the "AUTO" settings). I could not resist these shoes!

I did turn the flash off, so nobody knew what I was doing...
Here's a better shot -- from the side. Doesn't it look like I'm wearing a quilt?
I swear. THEY ARE PERFECT SHOW SHOES. And sooo comfortable. I have a very difficult time finding shoes that will stand up to the SEVEN MILES of walking that I'll do in Puyallup...
But -- I am hopeful. Do you think I could sew some zebra fabric on that strap??

  1. They looked WONDERFUL! Where did you get them? What are they called? Do they come in wide widths?

  2. I LOVE THEM. I bought them at my local Younkers. They are made by KEEN and only cost $72. (that was the regular price -- they weren't even on sale!). I have a wide foot, and they are very comfortable. Maybe we should have a shoe seminar at Expo?? I'm a big fan of Naots...and just bought a pair of FINN shoes from Germany. I am hopeful...

  3. Only SEVEN miles of walking at Expo????? I'm thinking maybe you meant each day :-)
    So, I'm seeing zebra fringe added to your shoes. You know how some guys dress shoes have the leather fringe or tassels on the top. You could do that with zebra fringe/tassels.
    Anyways, see you next week.
